ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to thank Dr. Ivan McDaniel for his involvement in the USDA-funding of this project. We thank him for his assistance at the beginning of this project in loaning us literature, equipment, and giving us pointers on taxonomy.

Ms. Leslie Schimmel, Mr. James Eckler, and Mr. Jan Nyrop for assistance in field collections, sorting, and identifications. Mr. Ber- nie May made the electrophoretic identifications.

The electrophoretic work was supported in part by a faculty research grant from the University of Maine at Orono. INTRODUCTION Black flies have been long-time residents of Maine and cause exten­ sive nuisance problems for people, domestic animals, and wildlife. The black fly problem has no simple solution because of the multitude of species present, the diverse and ecologically sensitive habitats in which they are found, and the problems inherent in measuring the extent of the damage they cause.

  • A Five-Year Research Program Is Proposed to Expand the Theory of Community Assembly from Its Current Base of Correlative Inferen
    PROJECT SUMMARY A five-year research program is proposed to expand the theory of community assembly from its current base of correlative inferences to one grounded in process-based conclusions derived from controlled field and laboratory experiments. Northern pitcher plants, Sarracenia purpurea, and their community of inquiline arthropods and rotifers, will be used as the model system for the proposed experiments. There are three goals to the proposed research. (1) Inquiline assemblages that colonize pitcher plants will be developed as a model system for understanding community assembly and persistence. (2) Field and laboratory experiments will be used to elucidate causes of inquiline community colonization, assembly, and persistence, and the consequences of inquiline community dynamics for plant leaf allocation patterns, growth, and reproduction, as well as within-plant nutrient cycling. Reciprocal interactions of plant dynamics on inquiline community structure will also be investigated experimentally. (3) Matrix models will be developed to describe reciprocal interactions between inquiline community assembly and persistence, and inquilines’ living host habitats. As an integrated whole, the proposed experiments and models will provide a complete picture of linkages between pitcher-plant inquiline communities and their host plants, at individual leaf and whole-plant scales. This focus on measures of plant performance will fill an apparent lacuna in prior studies of pitcher plant microecosystems, which, with few exceptions, have focused almost exclusively on inquiline population dynamics and interspecific interactions. Plant demography of S. purpurea will be described and modeled for the first time. Complementary, multi-year field and greenhouse experiments will reveal effects of soil and pitcher nutrient composition on leaf allocation, plant growth, and reproduction.
